Self-Host Your Git Repos on a Raspberry Pi! Gitea self-hosting tutorial

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

In this video we show you how to self-host a git server. We are going to install Gitea using docker compose on a Raspberry Pi. Gitea is very similar to GitHub but it can be completely self-hosted so that you can keep your personal projects truly private. Gitea offers collaborative features like bug tracking, code review, continuous integration, kanban boards, tickets, and even wikis so it is even suitable for small business or if you just fancy learning how to self-host more services.

As with many self-hosted applications, the recommended installation method is Docker Compose. Docker Compose simplifies the control of your self-hosted application stack. It makes it easy to manage services, networks, and volumes in a single YAML configuration file.
